Pleased Areola has signed think he should be the number 1 keeper now. Fab has been great but it's time to move on
09 Jun 2022 09:46:18
Aguerd done deal for £15million apparently
1.) 09 Jun 2022 18:28:35
Has it been confirmed as until it has i won't believe it
2.) 09 Jun 2022 21:54:08
Can anyone pour cold water on the Michael Keane rumours?
Please!
3.) 10 Jun 2022 06:57:15
Not sure about Keane but hearing that talks have stalled with Areola as Newcastle are very interested
4.) 10 Jun 2022 20:08:38
Got to move quicker spend to much time haggling other clubs show interest and then wed lose leverage in negotiating anyway.
Newcastle looked set to sign ekitike, with him now being injured they could look elsewhere no doubt they will be looking at players we've been mulling over.
Also re Botman one minute he's set for Newcastle next he's set for Milan. Let's hope neither turn attention to Auguerd.

Patrick Schick, Czech International Striker currently playing for Bayer Leverkusen is reported by Daily Star to be on WHU shopping list currently this season has 26 goals in 13 appearances
1.) 29 Dec 2021 11:48:31
Sorry this 16 not 26 still impressive though
2.) 29 Dec 2021 14:13:33
Though 36 would have sounded even better.
3.) 31 Dec 2021 16:09:21
yes let's see his Schtick in claret-and-blue
{Ed002's Note - Patrik Schick (S) Bayer Leverkusen do not wish to sell but know the interest of Manchester City, Spurs, Borussia Dortmund and Juventus could see the price rise significantly. Interestlingly, whilst all have a declared interest, none have him as their first choice. West Ham and Manchester United have both sent scouts to watch him although seem unlikely destinations.}

I’d rather have Hlozek.
26 Nov 2021 15:24:22
According to football London and documents listed lodged at companies House Daniel Kratinsky has agreed to hi David Sullivan's shares and Sullyy has agreed to sell them at an agreed price irrelevance vent of where WHU finish this season. ed002 have you any further info on this you're allways so good with the facts
{Ed002's Note - I am aware that there are options for Kretinsky and Sullivan at a fixed price and other shareholders could do the same but nothing is likely to happen before 2023 as part of an existing agreement that would cost the owners a fair whack in terms of penalties. Note that recently West Ham added Jack Sullivan as a director.}
1.) 26 Nov 2021 18:21:18
Thanks ed I assume the 2023 timeline is about the stadium deal
{Ed002's Note - Exactly.}

Football Insider reporting West ham trying to sign Winston McKenzie from Juve. Eds any clarification on this.
{Ed002's Note - Weston McKennie (CM) Fiorentina would like to take the player and Juventus are looking to add a leading CM and need to raise funds and offload, ideally Ramsey and Arthur - but an option would be to sell Weston McKennie to Bayern Munich who are cash rich and have shown an interest - although it seems to be waning. A representative of Juventus was in London for talks with Chelsea (this was only last week) and was asked to meet with West Ham who have declared an interest. I am not so sure the player would be interested. Juventus will keep him if they cannot raise €30M from a sale.
1.) 29 Sep 2021 20:03:11
Thanks Ed brilliant info as usual.
2.) 29 Sep 2021 22:58:28

Creswell will have to take the blame for last night but Moyes tactics of long balls out of the back and long throw ins just didn't work and was never going to work. Poor tactics all round
1.) 06 May 2022 13:44:41
And now we are APPARENTLY eyeing, considering, mulling, pondering every player under the sun and the season isn't finished yet lol
24 Apr 2022 16:09:51
Sending off not deserved and Chelsea lucky to win today
1.) 24 Apr 2022 21:25:09
Poor old Craig! So we do have one fit and available CH but it's Declan lol.
13 Apr 2022 12:43:59
3 players out of contract in June Origi, Tarkowski and Lingatd I'd take all 3 tomorrow
1.) 13 Apr 2022 14:56:53
Yes, i think some of the boys here on this site already warmed to those men. Get 'em in, or as many of them a possible.
2.) 14 Apr 2022 07:45:30
Whats the betting we don't and we leave it till the last week of the window and then come out with some lame excuse again
3.) 14 Apr 2022 11:00:30
And that's not being negative but we all know how our transfer windows pan out. Not raising my hopes too much over the next window either. We are already seeing stories about Kretzinsky and how his money is tied up in Russia so I don't expect miracles
4.) 14 Apr 2022 19:30:31
I bet Kretinsky sitting there with his Russkie gas powered luxury heater on 12 lol
07 Mar 2022 16:29:47
Former hammer Elliott Ward back at West Ham as under 14 coach. Always thought he was s great player we let go too early
1.) 07 Mar 2022 19:09:54
Did I see Demba Ba was helping the 18s too?
2.) 08 Mar 2022 10:01:34
Early in da morning.sorry got a tune in my head
3.) 12 Mar 2022 13:59:01
Getting back on track - Mark WARD now there was a player!
06 Feb 2022 15:44:55
I am sick and tired of the incessant harping on of the media and press about Declan Rice's next club. He is a West Ham player untill 2025. Should he want to leave then that's up to him, should the club want to sell his services then that's up to the club. The rest of them should shut up and stop trying to create news rather than reporting it
1.) 06 Feb 2022 18:01:20
He's the best player in PL in his position, of course there will be speculation as there is with every player that's not in Champions league that's doing well, in reality we won't make champions league this year he will have Mason Mount in his ear, he is zn ambitious young man that wants to win things if he leaves good luck to him, I of course don't want him to leave but it's inevitable he will at some point, the biggest concern is even if the money is reinvested moyes will take 4 years to spend it
2.) 06 Feb 2022 18:28:02
He doesn’t owe the club anything, having almost single-handedly dragged us to respectability.
If, as, and when he moves on, I’ll wish him well, but as has been pointed out, he’s contracted until 2024 and the club has an option for another 12 months.
In negotiating terms, WHU is in an excellent position.
Delboy and Rodney can sell up next year when the 20% penalty expires and Kretinsky can then move us on. If he hasn’t already spoken to Rice personally about the future, it won’t be long before he does so.
Reports of late offers made in the Jan window concerned huge amounts of money, so there is a hefty transfer pot for the summer.
Interesting times.
3.) 07 Feb 2022 00:42:43
It is the reality of having a very good player who aren't seen by the media as a top 4/6 side. Aston Villa had it with Grealish, remember even when Bellingham came on the scene at Birmingham how much attention was given to where was he going to move to. Will continue to happen so just ignore most of it. Yes some of the big clubs would like him but none have bid for him at this stage as likely they know he till now was going nowhere. Will be interesting if any try their luck this summer, but until there is any bids I think all stories are pure speculation and made up to sell papers.
4.) 07 Feb 2022 21:39:54
Rice is everything we want in a west ham player
And it will be a shame to see him go but if the board don't back the team this great run we've been on will be dead and gone
Im not asking for 50m signing that kid a forest looks good the kid a fulham we should have been in for only 6 month left
Weve always been know for giving the kids a chance haven't see much of it lately
Imagine the fulham kid on the left and not forrest on the right scare any defence when coming on as subs
5.) 07 Feb 2022 21:42:10
If i were WHU I’d hold onto Rice until after the World Cup, his value will sky rocket if he plays well. Personally, I think he’ll go straight after the World Cup, if not certainly in the summer of 2023.
He’ll only stay if we start to win things. The Europa League is a must for us this season.
6.) 08 Feb 2022 15:50:41
it's all gone quiet on the Levi Bellend front - these hypes and clamours for a certain player for 5 mins are crazy.
15 Jun 2022 14:57:37
Wow think that's the most comprehensive post I've ever seen on here fantastic info thanks Ed
14 Mar 2022 10:45:35
West Ham have been linked with Johnston got a couple of seasons now and I think he would be a good signing out of contract so no transfer fee and his distribution is good and quick something which Fab and Areola lack. What about Henderson who isn't getting game time at Utd
{Ed002's Note - There is plenty of interest from elsewhere, but none from WHU at this time.}
04 Jan 2022 11:26:55
This has to be the longest post I have ever seen o. "Rumours" absolutely brilliant thanks Ed002
29 Dec 2021 11:48:31

26 Nov 2021 18:21:18
Thanks ed I assume the 2023 timeline is about the stadium deal
{Ed002's Note - Exactly.}
14 Mar 2022 14:33:04
MOTD coverage was garbage Chelmsford showed nothing of Villa diving to the ground when the wind blows. I do dispare of the level of referees.i think he was either niaive or incompetent.
06 Feb 2022 13:30:24
Reading this morning about a young French keeper called Green that is a Spurs target. Evidently according to the Article he wants to join West Ham because his uncle is a lifelong hammers fan. Eds any ideas on this one
{Ed002's Note - No.}
23 Jan 2022 16:20:23
Agree with both of you, Chelmsford and Robbo but think Areola is more more mobile than Fab these days
24 Dec 2021 10:45:49
Yep Happy Xmas to all my fellow Hammers and football supporters everywhere even The Raver - he makes me laugh.
May I especially thank all the Eds for there hard work and expertise let's hope 2022 brings us back to health and happiness
{Ed001's Note - thank you mercerl, have a great Christmas mate.}
21 Dec 2021 15:47:04
